Smile Picked up my brand new 2013 Porsche
Hello All

Yesterday I picked up my 2013 Porsche Boxster from local dealership. Couple of pictures I took. I have never driven a manual transmission as good as this on ever.

Cheers

Raj

The manuals are nice aren't they

What other manuals have you driven?

Why did you choose a Porsche?

Manuals are nice. I am originally from India and used to driving manual only. My cars before this (with manual) - Miata, Cooper S and EOS.

I test drove bunch of cars and settled on Porsche due to handling plus my childhood dream to have one as well.

Cheers

Congratulations! The new model really is the best looking yet and the wheels look wicked. I hope you enjoy your Boxster as much as the members in here enjoy theirs! I wish I could afford a new one. Love the color too. Enjoy!!

I was just thinking how much it looks like my 987. The only thing that really gives it away are the side scoops

Good for you for getting a manual Boxster. I personally believe the true pleasure of rowing your own gears is many fold better than the manumatics (in general, in all cars).
